Mole Ratios-Other Stoiciometric Calculations

What is a mole ratio?

A mole ratio is a conversion factor derived from the coefficients of a balanced chemical equation interpreted in terms of moles. The ratio of the moles of one reactant or product to the moles of another reactant or product in the balanced euqation for a chemical reaction.

How are mole ratios used in chemical calculations?

In chemical calculations, mole ratios are used to convert between moles of reactant and moles of product between moles or reactants, or between moles of products.

How do you approach a typical stoichiometry problem?
In order to approach a typical stoichiometric problem you must first convert the given quantity into moles (mole ratio). Next, you use the mole ratio to calculate the number of moles of the wanted substance. Finally the moles of the first mole ratio is converted to any other unit of measurement related to the mole such as liters, molar mass, and molecules.
